[Ironpython-users] Changing the version information of ironpython .dll assembly

[Andrew Graham]

This is the error message I got:
An exception occurred during merging:

I always try something before suggesting it and it worked fine for me when I tried it on a dll I made with clr.CompileModules. Are your IronPython dlls in the GAC? i.e is IronPython installed from the msi? The only thing I can think of is that IronPython.dll is not accessible for some reason.

Thank you for the replies both Andy and Slide.



@ Slide:



I am currently bound to use ironpython 2.7.

Can you provide a link or an explanation for this part please:



       "You could also compile from the 2.7 mainy branch and get it from there. Ipyc replaces pyc.py."





@ Andy Graham:

I downloaded the ILMerge utility v2.12.0803 and tried to use the same syntax you gave me:

C:\>"D:\Program Files\Microsoft\ILMerge\ILMe

rge.exe" D:\dlls\pythonDll.dll /ver:1.2.3.4 /out:D:\dlls\pythonDll2.dll


Unresolved assembly reference not allowed: IronPython.

You can do this now with ipyc, which should be in the next version. It allows you to set many more things than pyc.py. You could also compile from the 2.7 mainy branch and get it from there. Ipyc replaces pyc.py.

Thanks

ilmerge mycode.dll /ver:1.2.3.4 /out:mycode.dll

ILMerge is available via NuGet in Visual Studio or from the Microsoft Download center

http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=17630



Last time I looked the 

version on NuGet is 2.14.1208 while the download is the earlier version 2.12.0803.

Hello,

I have the following issue with ironpython 2.7: I would like to compiles the .py file to .dll. Here is a nice example on how this can be done with clr.CompileModules method.
The problem is that the File Version of the compiled .dll is always: 0.0.0.0.

How can I change that?
I posted a question about this issue on stackoverflow.com. Even there there stands that the issue is solved, it isn't. the person who tried to help me (D. Alveno) really gave a lot of effort to do that. So this is why I marked his answer as the solving one. But in reality the issue is still not solved.

D. Alveno suggested using ipy.exe pyc.py instead of clr.CompileModules method. In the end this again resulted in getting a .dll file with File Version: 0.0.0.0.

I also tried a couple of other methods (those three ones mentioned on stackoverflow.com), but all of them failed, as they do not seem to be made for ironpython .dll assemblies, but probably C# and VB.NET.

I would welcome any kind of advice.

Thank you in advance.

With kind regards,
Didier Bernard
